    Summary

    "I am the queen of spades, I am the wasp that stings, I am the dark serpent. I am the invulnerable animal who passes through fire and is not burned." - Elena Ferrante, The Days of Abandonment

    Rhaella thinks perhaps the gods, any gods, have heard her prayers, when Aerys vomits up blood in bed. (Aerys dies before the 'trial' of Rickard and Brandon Stark can commence. In King's Landing, Rhaella at last finds her footing. On Dragonstone, Elia makes her preparations. And in the Tower of Joy, Lyanna comes to a series of cold realizations).

    On the Strength of Promises and Hope by

    Summary

    "Promise Me, Ned." Robert's Rebellion is over and won, and Ned Stark finds himself at the Tower of Joy with his dying sister's words ringing in his head. He makes the promise and takes the newborn babe, but he makes one other decision in this universe which starts to unravel his careful plan from the very beginning--endangering not only the baby boy, but Ned, his new wife, his own infant son, and all he holds dear; pitting him against the man he has called brother; and creating potential chaos in Robert Baratheon's new reign just as it is beginning.

    A pre-canon AU plot set in an otherwise book compliant Westeros spanning the years from the end of Robert's Rebellion to the end of the Greyjoy Rebellion.

    Summary

    “As in, there is one future where the White Walkers are defeated immediately, the Long Night is merely a passing shadow and we are spared most of the senseless deaths that came upon Westeros since Ned Stark died. But it’s not a future I can try to turn into a reality,” Bran says with a long sigh.

    “What – what do you mean?” Lord Connington doesn’t sound too convinced, but he’s listening intently, or so it seems from the frown on his face.

    “That in order for us all to live, Aerys Targaryen must die not sooner and not later than he did, but Rhaegar must live,” Bran says tiredly, “along with Elia Martell and her children. Whether Lyanna Stark does or not is irrelevant, as long as all three children live and know they are the heads of the dragon. It’s no job for someone like me – I can only walk if I visit the past or the future, not if I want to live in it. How useless it is that one has such powers but then cannot even walk, isn’t it?”

    “You – you mean to – send us to the past?” Brienne asks, barely audible.

    Summary

    Coming to terms with being in the past was not easy, but it was impossible to deny. Arriving practically on top of a Targaryen with a living dragon made sure of that. Either he had somehow ended up in the past, or he was suffering through a very vivid nightmare.

    Then, as if finding himself in the past wasn't bad enough, Jon had ended up back in time right in the middle of Targaryen family drama at its worst. And unfortunately for him, the entire House of the Dragon seemed convinced he belonged in their family.

    Jon would very much like to know why everyone he met was so certain he was a long dead prince. He still looked like Jon Snow. (He had checked.) There was no way he and prince Lucerys Velaryon could look so alike, right?

    As they lived centuries apart, no one living ever knew that Jon Snow and Lucerys Velaryon were identical. If not for a whim of the Valyrian gods, even Jon would have remained none the wiser.
